In General Chat. :coffee:

What have you bought, sillybollox :o

Still looks like a redneck rodent.

See .. de-starred too. What a beast. Badges off and a 'sensible' exhaust and .. well.... goodbye anything.

Decreases the drag and in turn saves weight and also increases MPG. Only an idiot would leave it on.

Rivets/screws for what I can only assume are polycarb windows cheapen it big time.

Too close to enable min. focusing distance ?

Now I've seen that, why would you a) not be able to focus and b) need to zoom in !? :S What is this .. amateur hour ? Try - live view + press the buttons under the shutter on the back face, as you'd zoom in viewing taken shots. Also, use 2-sec timer FFS. Those look awful.

Live view + zoom in (on screen) and focus manually... S'not ard.

Live view + torch + helpful assistant + manual focus.....

I think this was a step too far for CS... I still haven't the foggiest idea.

The BG, not the RB.

Infinities were on the back of the gf's old Clio. Back end stepped out in a big way at 20mph on a roundabout on the way to work. She span it a few times. Utterly hideous tyres. I'd rather paint the wheels black and pretend they're rubber. Would give more grip !

Unfortunately, they're the only ones that can tell you if you're covered by their policy or not dude. Don't make me get that pic of the crystal ball out from the internet cupboard... ;)

Ask the garage !? :S

I'm considering a 2nd car - track day 95% of it's life. How does that work with regards to the policy ? Say (hypertheticals) I do 1000 miles a year on road to track, but 300 a time on track .. and I do 10 a year. So the car's showing that I've done 4k but only 1 was on road. Or is this not...

Got that lens with my 7D .. nice bit of kit. As for the question .. not really sure ! Check out Wikipedia page .. I'll find in a second. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Canon_EOS_digital_cameras Get the newest one in budget, highest up the list towards the pro level. PS: Just...

Put that £400 into an ISA and thank me later.

Go back to where you came from .. with receipt. Explain the situ - they should check it, see where it's leaking and resolve. 10p says it's a naff bead or a dodgy valve.

Not surprised that the ride is a bit firm - have you thought about replacing the rubber bands with actual tyres ?! :rasp: Might be worth going a profile up, to get a bit of comfort back :o They 40s or 35s !? Apart from that - looks mint.

For the 16" Clio tyres, look at 195/45 as well.. Seem to be cheaper !! Less is more when it comes to snow - the (proper) Mini's were king in the 70s on the winter rally stages thanks to their skinny tyres ;)

Good work Mr C. [Long time no see!] Have you still got the big red boost bus !?

Maaaaaaaay have just purchased my second set of winter tyres for the blunderbus :o 17" wheels all year round .. oh yeah :cool:

As long as you stay under 149mph, the rears won't explode - there'll still be a safety factor in there so you'll be fine.

Superb. Seriously nice sounding few days !!

Tax will be ~£100 a year saving. Insurance will not be a saving. So, if it costs you £1000 all in (bearing in mind an engine alone is £3-500), it'll be 10 birthdays from now before you're up at least. Also, bear in mind you can get a (ratty) 172 for <£1000 now....

So what tyres are they and what pressures are they currently (when cold) ? Always start simple !!

What tyres and what pressures ? A few PSI up or down can make a difference ! Also as mentioned, shocks do like popping for fun on these... assuming it's got standard suspension.
